Clara and Davie (Livro de fotos)

From bestselling author Patricia Polacco´s family tree -- the true story of young Clara Barton. Animals and flowers were Clara´s best friends. She had a special way with critters and found joy in the beauty that sprang from the soil. But whenever Clara talked, her words didn´t come out right. As hard as she tried, she could not get over her lisp. Clara´s older brother Davie understood that his sister was gifted. When folks made fun of Clara´s stilted words, Davie was always at her side reminding her that she had a talent for healing creatures. Davie told his sister, "Some day you are going to be a very great lady." And that´s exactly what happened. Clara Barton became one of the most famous medical practitioners of all time, and founded the American Red Cross.
